Celestial Camping Overnight

Mystical, otherworldly, gorgeous: That is the desert at night. The moon arcs across the sky, meteors pierce the black, planets roam among the countless stars, and our own galaxy slowly whirls above. You don’t want to miss this stuff!

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, because of its mountain ranges and remote location, is what USA Today has called “a stargazer’s paradise.” And the town of Borrego Springs is an International Dark Sky Community, which means it protects the clarity of the natural night sky from light pollution — allowing visitors to see the stars in all their glory!

Come camp under the stars with us, and enjoy a telescope viewing and gourmet food! About once a month, we offer a Celestial Overnight in which we partner with an astronomer to provide you with a unique luxury camping experience that includes:

3-hour daytime excursion through the badlands to spectacular Font’s Point
Telescope viewing/night-sky tour with an astronomer
Camping gear provided and set up — all you have to do is show up!
Gourmet dinner of tri-tip beef, salmon, sides & wine
S’mores by the campfire
Full breakfast the next morning
This is a one-of-a-kind experience that will create lasting memories! Book a spot ($275 per adult, $175 per child) on an upcoming camping trip and experience the night sky like you’ve never seen it!
